Considering protection from noise, a covered metal cable duct or steel-made protection
tube is recommended. The recommended minimum separation distances between
parallel signal lines and power cables in using the above means of protection are shown
in the table below.

Instrumentation and Control Devices (by the [Japan Electric Measuring Instruments
Manufacturers' Association])
In case of using a cable duct, place a steel-made separator in a cable duct and separate
the power cables from the trunk cables as shown below.
Figure 8-1 Example of Cabling through a Duct
In installing cables in a pit, use a separator as used in cabling through a duct.
